Predatory Mammal Species of Bitlis Province (Mammalia: Carnivora)

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 27 - 32, 30.06.2016

Abstract

Predatory mammals are a signifcant order located at the top of the food pyramid in the ecosystems
in which they exist in the wild life. They have important roles in balancing the populations of animals which are
smaller and large in numbers with a potential for spreading diseases and causing an economic loss. This study was
based on feld surveys conducted in the natural areas of Bitlis province between 2011 and 2015. It was determined
in feld surveys that
Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, Ursus arctos, Mustela nivalis, Vormela peregusna, Martes foina,
Meles meles, Lutra lutra, Felis silvestris, and Lynx lynx species from order Carnivora are distributed. Traffc
accidents, habitat reduction and unconsciously hunting activities were observed as leading of the most important
factors which threaten these species in the study feld.

Bitlis İli’nin Yırtıcı Memeli Türleri (Mammalia: Carnivora)

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 27 - 32, 30.06.2016

Abstract

Yırtıcı memeliler yaban hayatında bulundukları ekosistemlerdeki besin piramidinin en üst basamağında yer
alan önemli bir takımdır. Hastalık yayma, ekonomik zarara yol açma potansiyeli olan daha küçük ve sayıca daha
çok olan hayvanların populasyonlarının dengelenmesinde önemli rollere sahiptir. Bu çalışma 2011 ila 2015 yılları
arasında Bitlis ili doğal alanlarında gerçekleştirilen arazi çalışmalarına dayanmaktadır. Yapılan arazi çalışmalarında
Carnivora takımına ait
Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, Ursus arctos, Mustela nivalis, Vormela peregusna, Martes foina,
Meles meles, Lutra lutra, Felis silvestris ve Lynx lynx türlerinin yayılış gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Çalışma alanında bu
türleri tehdit eden en önemli faktörlerin başında trafk kazaları, habitat daralması ile bilinçsiz şekilde yapılan avcılık
faaliyetlerinin geldiği gözlenmiştir.
